Abstract
The agro-industrial complex of Russia is one of the main consumers of petroleum products. The volume of work in agriculture, the loading of equipment when performing field and transport work place increased demands on the quality of fuels and lubricants. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in compilation of a comprehensive analysis of domestic and foreign sources to obtain detailed characteristics of fuel and lubricants economy systems. (Materials and methods) The article presents the methods of economical use of fuel and lubricants based on domestic and foreign sources, information about the quality and range of oils used in the agro-industrial complex of Russia. The article considers the basics of rational use of waste materials, ways to clean them from contamination, presented technologies and technical means for the recovery (regeneration) of waste oils. (Results and discussion) Currently existing fuel and lubricant saving systems do not fully meet the requirements of resource saving and environmental standards. The use of recommendations, guidelines, regulatory and technical documentation on this problem in the developed system of fuel and lubricants economy will allow consumers of the agro-industrial complex to reduce fuel costs by 7-25 percent; reduce friction losses by 3-5 times; restore the geometry of worn friction surfaces; increase the engine power by 5-10 percent; extend the life of the engine and mechanisms by 8-12 percent. (Conclusions) The developed regulatory framework, theoretical and methodological provisions will allow the management departments of the agro-industrial complex at the regional (district) level and large agricultural enterprises to develop and implement scientifically based solutions for organizing the processes of saving fuel and lubricants during the operation of agricultural machines and aggregates.
